Port Moresby is the capital (city) of Papua New Guinea. Papua New Guinea is one of the islands in Oceania.

The population is about 250,000 (2000).

The land area is 240 square kilometers.

The Owen Stanley Ranges forms its northern border. Dense rainforests cover the mountains. The Kokoda Trail leads from Port Moresby to the ranges. The Owen Stanley Range mountains isolate and protect the area from heavy rain and harsh weather, but it also leads to very low rainfall, droughts, and water shortages.

The official languages are English, TokPisin, and HiriMotu, but with over 800 languages and cultures, the city is one of the most diverse places in the world.

Origin of Port Moresby: The area was occupied by Motu and Koitabu people for thousands of years before the Europeans arrived. British explorer John Moresby arrived in 1873. About 15 years later, Great Britain established the colony of British New Guinea and named Port Moresby the capital. Now it is the capital of Papua New Guinea.

There are frequent and sometimes severe earthquakes, mud slides, and tsunamis.

The average temperatures range from 23℃to32℃.

Western clothing is usually worn by the people of Papua New Guinea because the weather is usually warm. Casual clothes and open neck shirts for men are worn throughout the year, along with the traditional clothes such as rami, sulus, laplaps and kolos.
